5 aof whom are the fathers and from bwhom, according to the flesh, Christ came, cwho is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.
Israel’s Rejection and God’s Purpose
6 aBut it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For bthey are not all Israel who are of Israel,
7 anor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, b“In Isaac your seed shall be called.”
8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but athe children of the promise are counted as the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise: a“At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.”
10 And not only this, but when aRebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac
11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of aHim who calls),
12 it was said to her, a“The older shall serve the younger.”
13 As it is written, a“Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”
Israel’s Rejection and God’s Justice
14 What shall we say then? aIs there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not!
15 For He says to Moses, a“I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”
